On Tuesday, Jan. 21, Albion officials admitted the site, originally launched in December, hasn't been as easy to navigate as they had hoped
and still needs to be tweaked.

"We eventually
want all emails to be uniform in some way, and we want to include our meeting
minutes and agendas on the site," Albion City Councilman Garrett Brown said.
Brown has been charged with maintaining the website after Okemos-based
WebAscender finishes building it.

Albion City Manager
Dan Bishop said making the site user-friendly is everyone's goal.

"We wanted to have
visitors to the site navigate all of it with a maximum of three clicks," he
said. "Some of the links are broken and some pages can be reduced to one click
or two to direct to."

The city is using
Public, Educational, and Government Access funds to pay for the site. PEG funds
are reserved for municipalities to provide easy access to government
information, whether through public broadcasting or online.

Bishop said the site will cost "around $26,000 when it's all said and done."
